PASTE-DISPENSING DEVICE.

Application filed July 23, 1920.

.which will appear as the description proceeds, theinvention resides in the combina tion and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter'described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 showsin side elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the'invention; Fig. 2 is an end elevation; and Fig. 3 is a plan view.

In carrying out the invention there is provided a holder made of wire or any other resilient material. The holder comprises forward arms 1 which are convexed as indicated at 2, the arms 1 merging into a loop-shaped head 3 disposed approximately parallel to the arms, the arms and the head being connected by diverging laterally ex tended loop-shaped guides 4c- The forward ELIIHS' 1 are continued to form rear arms 5 which are convexed as shown at 6, like the forward arms 1. The rear arms 5'are disposed, if desired, at a slight angle to the arms 1. Those portions which connect the arms 1 and 5 may pass through, or be otherwise assembled with, a base 8 having openings 9 adapted to'receive securing elements (not shown) whereby the base may be secured to a support 10. The support 10 may be a shelf or it may be-a vertical wall, depending upon the taste of the user, the device being so constructed, ordinarily, that it will discharge downwardly.

I The drawing shows an ordinary flexible tube in which tooth paste, shaving cream and thelike are contained, the tube including a body 11, a head 12 and anozzle 14. In practical operation, the tube is thrust be tween the arms 11 and 5-5, the arms Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July-12, 1921.

Serial No. 398,422.

1-1 engagingt he body 11 of the tube immediately in the rear-of the head 12, the arms 5 engaging. the body 11 of the tube .at some distance from the head. The body 11 of the tube is received in the convexed portions 2 ofthe arms 1 and in the' convexed portions 6 of the arms 5. The loop-shaped member 3 serves as an abutment for the head 12 of the tube and prevents thetube from sliding longitudinally. If the tube should be pushed far enough in the arms 1 of the arms, then the nozzle 14- of the tube may engage with the curved portionoit' the head 3. i n

A means, independent of the holder, is provided, for folding the rear end of the tube. T iis means may be of any desired sort. A clamp, which maybe a cotter pin 15 may beus ed, afinger piece 16 being thrust through the eye of the cotter pin. The rear end of the tube is flattened, and is inserted between the arms of the cotter pin 15, and when the cotter pin-is rotated, the; body 11 of thetube will be folded, the contents of the tube being expelled.

1 and 5- 5, in the direction of the length Having thus described the invention, what .5

is claimed is 1. In a device for dispensing paste from flexible tubes, a holder comprising tubegripping forward arms merging into a loop shaped head forming an abutment-for the forward end of the tube, the forward arms being prolonged to formrear tube-gripping arms; and a base, the holder being con nected to the base between the forward and rear arms. v

2. In a device for dispensing paste from flexible tubes, a holder comprising tubegripping forward arms merging into a loop-shaped head forming an abutment for the forward end of the tube, the forward. arms and. the head being connected by fdi' verging loop-shaped guides, the forward arms being prolonged to form rear tubegripping arms; and a base, the base being connected to the holder betweenthe forward and rear arms. j

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aliixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
